Event Navigation

The United Way advances the common good by creating opportunities for a better life for all. Our focus is on education, income, and health–the essential building blocks for a good quality of life for each one of us.

United Way recruits people and organizations who bring the passion, expertise and resources we need to get things done.

We invite you to join us. You can give, you can advocate and you can volunteer. Together, united, we can inspire hope and create opportunities for a better tomorrow. That’s what it means to LIVE UNITED.

Our United Way brings together people and resources from across the community to tackle the issues that matter most. Whether that means forging partnerships, advocacy, fundraising,grant writing or bringing people together around focused issues–that’s what United Way does.

For more than 90 years, the United Way has brought people together to focus on the most important needs in the community — building partnerships and leveraging resources to make a positive impact on lives in Lackawanna and Wayne Counties.

If it requires fundraising, going to Congress, or just getting people to work together, that’s what we do. We look at root causes – it’s not enough to feed a hungry family, we look to change the conditions that led to hunger in the first place.

The mission of the United Way is to improve the quality of life of the people of Lackawanna and Wayne Counties and surrounding communities by serving as a catalyst for community problem solving and by conducting an efficient, encompassing, volunteer fundraising effort to positively impact the community’s most compelling social problems.

Toyota of Scranton is proud to support United Way of Lackawanna and Wayne Counties and encourages you to do the same.
